Skip to comments.DNA Sequence Yields Clues to Germany's 'Super Toxic' E. coli outbreak
Posted on 06/02/2011 4:18:36 PM PDT by neverdem
Just from the high number of deaths and severe cases, scientists and public health experts battling Germany's massive E. coli outbreak knew they were up against something unusual. Now, early results from sequencing projects of the enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) strain appear to confirm that a never-before-seen hybrid, combining the worst of several bacterial strains, is causing the havoc.
The Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI), in Shenzhen, China—which today announced that it has sequenced the microbe's entire 5.2-million-base-pair genome—says that its acquisition of several virulence genes make this EHEC strain "supertoxic."
The outbreak, which has caused mayhem in European trade relations, is still growing; so far, more than 16 patients have died. The origin of the microbe remains a riddle; cucumbers from Spain, originally fingered as the potential source, were acquitted on Tuesday and have not been replaced by other suspects. All researchers know is that raw vegetables are the most likely carrier.
Scientific results announced in two press releases today—both also intended to tout the extraordinary speed of today's sequencing technology—suggest that within the microbe's DNA lie clues to its aggressive nature.
The second came from Life Technologies Corporation, which manufactures so-called third-generation sequencing machines. Today, the company announced that sequencing at its lab in Darmstadt, Germany, in collaboration with the nearby University of Münster, "strongly suggests that the bacterium … is a new hybrid type of pathogenic E. coli strains." Spokespeople for the company in the United States and Germany could not provide details today. "Further analyses on Ion PGMT"—the company's flagship sequencing machine—"will confirm [the] data," the press release promised.
BGI, meanwhile, says that the microbe's genome—which it says took just 3 days to sequence, also using Life Technologies equipment—reveals that it shares 93% of its sequence with EAEC 55989 E. coli, a strain isolated in the Central African Republic and known to cause serious diarrhea. It appears to have acquired several genes that make it more pathogenic, however, probably in a process called horizontal gene transfer, by which microbes exchange bits of genetic information.
In an e-mail to ScienceInsider, Yang Bicheng, director of BGI's marketing department, wrote that one gene fragment appears to have come from another food-borne pathogen, Salmonella enterica, while other genes are highly homologous to those found in other, phylogenetically distinct E. coli strains, including a strain called O25:H4-ST131.
BGI, which has made the sequence available for researchers to download, says the analysis also confirmed that the microbe is resistant to many antibiotics. These include aminoglycoside, the macrolides, and the beta-lactams—"all of which makes antibiotic treatment extremely difficult," according to the press release. However, German EHEC patients aren't treated with antibiotics; most scientists believe they make matters worse, because killing EHEC results in the release of more toxin.
Yang acknowledged that finding the resistance genes may not be clinically relevant, but says they may help understand how the strain arose. "The evolutionary process … of this very strange hybrid strain may be a very interesting scientific story," Yang wrote in his e-mail.
Microbial genomicist Frederick Blattner of the University of Wisconsin, Madison—who worked for almost 15 years to sequence the first E. coli strain and finished in 1997—says the results have to be considered preliminary; it's not clear whether BGI assembled the entire genome from its sequenced pieces, he notes, and usually in such efforts, a number of stretches need to be resequenced. Still, "they did this at an amazing speed, and it looks like they found some very intriguing information," Blattner says.

Does Libya have a bioweapons program?
Maybe they can find out which lethal 'migrant' took this dump onto the produce and killed so many.
"Does Libya have a bioweapons program?"
No but there's a lot of ultra rich people signed up to a depopulation program.
It doesn't get any weirder than that.
Wash your vegetables.
Cooking them helps also.
from the beginning of Agricultural Farming - people harvesting crops in the field do their business.
Read Lenny Bruce "How To Talk Dirty, and Influence People" about his time in the fields with the old Polish women.
He said he ALWAYS washes his vegetables. Thoroughly.
They "did" have bioweapons in Libya although I am torn between that and the sub African Continent "illegal" pooping on the agriculture field.
Mexmigrants have been doing this for years in CA.
I have been washing my fruits and veggies since 1977 as a former SoCal resident.
It probably has nothing to do with Germany's love of coprophagia and coprophagic pornography. Yeah, nothing to do with that.
That is well sought after advice for Mr Bruce
I had to look that up. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww!
Germ warfare? If Libya did this they should face the fury of Franco-Anglo Nukes—Tripoli should cease to exist. If it works in Europe—we will face it here soon.
" we will face it here soon. "
Three suspected cases of mystery e-coli in US
This whole thing just raises the hair on the back of my neck...
Sounds like this E-coli might have designer genes.
>> "Cooking them helps also." <<
That's a fact!
The current crunchy broccoli fad is probably responsible for much of this stuff. And all they have to do is wash it in H2O2 solution, like the raw milk daries do with all their hardware.
I just bought a case of 35% H2O2 last week. Pricey now, but well worth the peace of mind.
"No but theres a lot of ultra rich people signed up to a depopulation program."
Georgia Guidestones. A population of five million led by 'Wise Elders' who set up a Utopia on the backs of billions of dead.
(High School Chem Lab was a long, long, long, long, long time ago...)

its acquisition of several virulence genes make this EHEC strain "supertoxic."
A bug doesn't pick up "several virulence genes" from a random mutation or two.
Funny you mention that....In reading the Hidden Hitler....that was the conclusion of the author....his best guess at to what exactly was Hitler's sexual perversion among homosexuality.
All his chauffeurs and close friends (Roehm, Hess) were homosexuals and they think he was a homosexual prostitute in his 20's and in the army, judging from his acquaintances, and where he was living and with whom....
That is partly why the Nazis had the book burning. All condemnation of homosexuality was for political purposes only —to get massive popular support since most Germans had a trace of Christianity left, although Christianity and morality had been demeaned and entertainment had become most vulgar and homoerotic by the 1920's in the Weimar Republic.
It was the Sexual Institute of Research which had done extensive studies on sexual perversions which had interviews with over 90% of the Brownshirts. They needed to erase their history so the German people could be fooled when they talked about deviancy, etc.—wiping it out of the Aryan race—when virtually all the Nazi officials were sexual deviates.
Homosexuality was considered the National Vice of Germany by all foreign diplomats and it was the standing joke to watch your back then dealing with the Germans (esp. the ones in power).
More politically incorrect hidden knowledge, so not to offend the lies of the MSM and the elites "homosexuality is good and natural" crowd:
500 million, but what's 495 million between friends? :)
I only remember the number because it works out to roughly 10% of the current population, and a reptile-studying biologist in Texas talked cheerfully about killing off 90% of the people on the planet a few years back:
On second thought... anybody looked into Round up Ready GMO seed which contaminates every crop for miles and miles!
Monsanto needs to be shut down.
Thanks for that susie. I read the Pink Swastika (or at least a good portion of it) a few years back and it opened my eyes to a lot of things. Now I use it to enrage any homosexual activists I encounter.
Even an internet novice can notice some patterns about particular countries and predilections to certain perversions. Homosexuality is so rampant that it is not considered specific enough to be a true perversion; they now have to subdivide it into smaller and smaller categories with ever more twisted and sick behaviors.
The Marquis de Sade would be amazed and proud at how things have turned out:
Thanks for the de Sade site....Never ever read any of his stuff. What I did read was how a young boy about 13 in England in late 1800's found a book of de Sades in his uncle's library and reenacted sexual torture on a little neighbor girl and boy. It was horrific. It was the crime of the decade in England when it happened. I ran into it when I was doing a report on the dehumanizing effects of pornography in society.
People need to understand that ideas have incredible consequences and the push to accept homosexual behavior as "good" it to make immorality moral. Immorality is evil and it always, always has evil consequences.
It is narcissism and lust. There is no virtue in the act—none.
Eat sh!7 and die?.......
So it only took the Chinese 3 days to tell them what it is
Now they need to know why it is
and where it is
I just wonder what the mortality rate will be for the almost 500 souls (thus far) afflicted with this new deadly HUS
Would love to be a researcher trying to find the common link among the victims.
Meanwhile, I looked up homemade recipes for fruit and veggie wash and I'm using it from now on!
if shit fertilizer kills people, why are there 3 billion Chinese and Indians walking around?
Natural selection?........
yeah, you're right, it probably has nothing to do with that since 70% of the victims are young-middle aged women and the epidemic started less than 30 days ago
yeah, you're right, it probably has nothing to do with that since 70% of the victims are young-middle aged women and the epidemic started less than 30 days ago
"500 million, but whats 495 million between friends? :)"
Oops! You're right of course.
We just ate supper about an hour ago.
We had tomatoes,fried okra, purple hull peas with snaps, and fried zuchini.
All of it came out of our garden.
I don't have to worry about third world diseases, but we wash everything anyway........
You are correct.
That is why it was almost certainly from horizontal gene transfer, as the article says.
So far it's only a guess this bacteria came from raw vegetables, or is confined now to those vegetables
It could have been passed any number of ways
Even on money. Ever wonder who handled the money in your wallet? Did he/she wash after flushing?
Ever touch the handle of a shopping cart? A public door knob? A library book?
Unfortunately, no man is an island in this world.
I studiously avoid doorknobs in public.
I use automatic doors whenever possible, use my foot or wait for someone to come out or go in to open the door then hold it with my elbow or foot.
If necessary, I grab the door way up high where people usually don't touch.
Grocery stores here provide antibacterial wipes for customers to use on cart handles.
I hardly ever use money, I use credit cards.
If someone coughs near me in public, I immediately stop breathing in and leave the area.
I try to be as conscious of my surroundings as possible without drawing attention to myself.........
Monsanto is all about horizontal gene transfer in Round up Ready seeds.
Bacillus thuringenesis Bt.... ring a bell anyone?
Leaving unanswered the big question. Natural or deliberate?
Almost certainly natural.
If someone were to design a bug to kill - it wouldn't be one that could be easily avoided by F#^@&# washing your vegetables.
Something spread by a cough would be much more dangerous.
Just use a little logic.
And wash your vegetables.
I can't for the life of me understand why those are still in one piece.
There is no confirmation, as yet, that the bug is spread by vegetables. This was the original notion, now disproved. The article notes that the origins are unknown.
It may be spreading through the water system. In which case, washing ones vegetables is bad news.
The illness is now in Great Britain, and people have been warned that it could directly transmit from one person to another.
Reread the article:
"All researchers know is that raw vegetables are the most likely carrier."
A good question, in the circumstances.
But Libya is most unlikely to be striking against Germany. Germany is the only EU country to keep right out of the war on Libya. They abstained from the UN vote - would not even say a word. This is because it is a French initiative, and Germany fears that France wants to grab North Africa's oil basin for itself.
I find this e-coli outbreak very surprising, and I am suspicious of the nature of the bacteria. This could be bio-ware. But by who, I don't know.
Me too. And remember that the anthrax attacks were never solved.

Sarah Palin thinks she is a better American than you because she comes from a small town, and a superior human being because she isn't a journalist and never lived in Washington and likes to watch her kids play hockey. Although Palin praised John McCain in her acceptance speech as a man who puts the good of his country ahead of partisan politics, McCain pretty much proved the opposite with his selection of a running mate whose main asset is her ability to reignite the culture wars. So maybe Governor Palin does represent everything that is good and fine about America, as she herself maintains. But spare us, please, any talk about how she is a tough fiscal conservative.

First the positives: next to a river, close to a golf course and shopping. The negatives: Over priced for the facilities, poorly kept with long grass and very poor restrooms with very primitive showers. This camp is not very big rig friendly with limbs and power lines that should be higher. Get a firm price before accepting a spot. We were quoted $35 when we made our advance reservation. The price jumped up to $38 when we arrived. We mentioned membership to FMCA and Good Sam so he discounted down to $35! I like to feel like I can trust the camp ground owner to shoot straight. We will not stay here again. It's just to primitive. - Beech35p

We loved this charming campground! The price was amazing, especially for a full hookup, and it was cleaner than the last state park we visited. The facilities are not modern, but are well-maintained. We camped less than 20 ft from the riverbank! Everyone was very friendly. We can't wait to go back and camp there again! - HomeIsWhereYouParkIt

This is the type of park you'll hate or find it satisfactory. We wanted to be near Purgatory Golf Course and this is right across the street. They have very limited big rig sites but we were able to get 50 amps on the river. The park is not kept very pristine but it's acceptable. No amenities were obvious including Wi-Fi. Plenty of room to maneuver. Lots of old campers and full time residents. We would stay here again because of the location and it did have a certain peacefulness. Golf course is great! - Team Asphalt

This campground is a county park with the facilities heavily used by local residents. I would strongly advise calling ahead for a spot. 50 amp sites are quickly taken and many 30 amp sites are too short for big rigs. We lucked out since the campground host had not brought his RV out for the summer yet, and we were allowed to use his site. This is a very nice and well maintained park with all sites being paved and grounds well taken care of. - Teacher's Pet

This is a great county park that was used heavily on the weekend. All sites have level concrete pads. Some are short so make sure that you let them know the length of your rig when you register. About half the sites are full hookup and the remainder are water and electric. Good Verizon service and over the air TV. Satellite is spotty since there are mature trees. There is a nice playground, shelter, game room (limited hours), volleyball, horse shoe pits and fishing. Large grass areas will accommodate tent campers and many RV spaces have room for a tent. The entire facility is very well maintained especially since it is heavily used. They are in the process of constructing a pedestrian bridge across the river to the walking and biking paths. Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. We made a reservation early in the week so we could attend a funeral on Saturday. Despite being almost full, they found a way to provide us a full hookup site. We will return. - BobWW

This is a small county run campground located on the White River. There are a combination of larger sites with full hookups (50 amp), smaller sites with 30 amp/water and a few tent sites. A few sites have a view of the river although the one we were in did not. The larger site we were in had a very level concrete base with a picnic table located underneath some trees. We were able to locate our motorhome to get DirectTV satellite service as well as receiving Indianapolis stations on our bat wing. The only down side to the site is that the sewer connection is located at the very back and we had to use 30 feet of hose to make the connection. There were very few RV's in the campground during the week days we were there and it was very quiet. The park's WiFi worked well enough for us. There is another county park (no camping) with walking/biking trails along with a nature center located on the other side of the river about 1/2 mile from this campground. We enjoyed our time in this campground and would stay here again if we are in the area. - Co-Mike

This park was a complete mud hole. Owner said the drive hadn't been graded yet, but it needed major stone in the huge holes. WiFi was non existent even though the owner said it could be spotty. I asked about showers when I made reservations and was told there was a shower house. There was but it was closed part of the time and the shower was unusable on the women's side. Owners were not friendly. Only plus it's close to the interstate and to shopping. Will not stay here again. - Diplomat 07

I had read a few of the previous Glowood reviews and noted the rough roads into the park. However, I foolishly thought the problems would be fixed by now. Wrong! I called the cg office and was specific that we needed a pull thru for a 38 foot motorhome and car and didn't want to unhook for the night. Spot was available. Come on in.
The internal roads were narrow, mud-filled craters.
The check-in office was a creepy, dimly-lit opening beneath a porch. The owner took my money and pointed me in the direction of my site.
The sharp curve preceding the end spot was muddy everywhere with deep, unavoidable ruts. This was the last site available. No way could we make the curve and pull thru. At this point, the back right tires of the coach began to sink into the mud. I quickly checked to see if we could go straight and leave, but the pull thru site seemed to be the only way out. On foot, I raced back to the office to see if the owner could suggest an exit. He said no one had ever had this problem with my site. Very untruthful. Maybe a class B van could get thru but not anything bigger. He then offered to pull our motorhome and car out with his SUV if we were stuck in the mud. David and Goliath? Clueless? He even offered my money back and a little extra for my trouble. So generous considering our perilous plight and his negligence in putting us into a spot he should have known was unacceptable. Who does that?
He explained that they'd had rain, and mud-filled potholes had formed. I realized that these were not from a recent event. These were from years of neglect. Later, I read older reviews, one from June, 2008. Hint: read all the reviews.
We finally pulled in, not even bothering to level. Just connected the electric and were glad we could leave in the morning.
This owner has no conscience or ethics. Takes money and delivers nothing. Keep driving. - User3617
May 2016 - $28.00
Pros: Close to I-69, long pull-throughs, satellite friendly, friendly owners. Our site was level, but there are some that are not. Our Verizon hotspot and phones worked well here.
Cons: The access road is very bumpy but then you get to the campground and it is even worse. Many, many deep potholes. Thankfully it didn't rain while we were here or it would be a muddy nightmare.
FYI: Cash or check only. - Liz I.

As others said, it is hard to find parks convenient to visiting most urban areas. The Fairgrounds campground are fine for a reasonably secure place to stay when visiting family/friends, etc. It is NOT a resort! But nice to have 50 amp and w/sewer. There is a reasonably priced washer/dryer set in each restroom. Sites near the restroom are best suited for very small RVs or tents as they are unlevel but the rest are reasonable. Sites are EXTREMELY narrow (about 11') if you really follow the designations, but everyone takes 2 spaces and then there is no problem. Over the 4th of July weekend about 2/3 full, but would be impossible for most if they started forcing the spacing. - BandD

Enter off of Fall Creek, gate 6, was pretty easy. There was a car auction when we pulled in and there was one site left. Luckily it wasn't too bad but looking at most others they looked very un-level and extremely close together. Every other one will have hookups on wrong side. Water and electric worked fine but sewer was in a very bad spot. Would not stay here again. - cwier

We stayed here during the State Fair when the rates are slightly higher. An excellent place to stay and catch free shuttles to the Fair. We had FHU's with 50 amp service on a grassy/sunny site. Entrance on 46th street was easy and convenient. Great location to visit Indianapolis. - gptexas

Great park with a large dog park. There is some shade making it hard to get satellite reception. There is no cable but antenna tv reception was good. Long pull throughs are gravel but not real level. They still believe water runs up hill for sewer. It is very dusty entering park which does need attention to repairs. - trims
Jun 2016 - $52.00
Park is located between corn fields, an RV dealership, and a highway. The entry gravel road is very, very poor, narrow and needing repair. One section is for long timers and the other is for transients. All interior roads and sites are gravel and some are very unlevel. It is 7 plus miles east to town and 12 miles east to the big city. Check the roads and highways for heavy construction...lots of traffic, detours, trucks, divided highway. This was our worst driving day of or trip.
I thought it was high for the night. - Oooooooo

Don't usually stay on KOA due to their high cost, but this was Memorial Day week and Indianapolis 500 weekend as well, so we had little choice. The campground is very full. Sites are average width, but angled so you have a little breathing room. Level sites with grass between. Very well maintained. It's a KOA. 'nuff said. - lpampin

We stayed here in our 40 foot rig. The site was unlevel, and the grass needed to be mowed. All utilities were at the back of site. The water had a funny smell.
There appears to be many full-time residents throughout the park. And most were not being maintained. - Sandy Turtle
Jun 2016 - $39.00
First impression - dumpy, trashy, run down. It starts in the office at check in where rude staff will greet you with,"Whaddaya want?" when you walk in. I made reservations over the phone so they were expecting us. Our full hookup pull thru site had overgrown grass and weeds around the utilities that we had to cut down before we could connect anything. There was trash overflowing in the fire pit and cigarette butts everywhere. No shade at all. Water pressure was very low. Lots of run down permanent trailers. The rv storage section next to our site looked like a parking lot of old abandoned broken down rvs. I mean, there were weeds growing out from the inside of these units in storage. There's a pool and some other amenities that is open to the public for a fee so you have non-campers from neighboring houses driving up and down the roads. And beware, lots and lots of golf carts being driven by young children, like 5, 6, and 7 yrs old who can barely reach the gas pedal. Many of our neighbors did not observe quiet hours. Bottle rockets going off at midnight. Will not stay here again. - Flippitti

We stayed last 2 weeks of November. Paid for a month because it was cheaper that way. This park is open year round, which is hard to find in this area. There was someone there at office every day and were nice. This was a real nice park when built, but that was a long time ago. Still everything worked at our site. Did not use restrooms or showers. There is a lot here if there in summer. Indoor pool, 9 hole golf course. nice looking beach, miniature golf, and a lot of grass open space. Had fire pit and grass between campers. Biggest complaint was WiFi did not work except at office. Was told it is being updated but a lot of work so will not be working for a while. - rogjenmoore

Holiday period, brown outs and power outages. Hot water took forever to "warm up", very tight spaces, and dangerous exit at pond edge almost lost a trailer into the lake/pond.
Nice looking park, but very iffy when it comes to what works or not, and laundry was not effective.
The site was suppose to be back-in, due to muddy conditions, but was too tight to do that. But was able to do a pull through in 4 wheel drive, with the help of the manager guiding through the water and mud.
Friendly enough staff, but park is just old and needs a lot of attention. - Jacobsen
Apr 2016 - $23.00
First off, don't come here if it has been raining a lot. There are currently many, many sites under water. The playground and putt putt course are flooded. The pads are narrow and nearly impossible to get a large rig on without driving through the mud. I now need to scrub my coach and toad tire sidewalls when I leave here.
That aside, the roads to get here are rough and narrow. The roads in here are rough. The staff we met were very friendly. We pulled into what appeared to be a very long pull-through but realized it is really two sites back-to-back. So the first to arrive gets to pull through and the 2nd gets to back in. The back-in site is now flooded. There appears to be a lot of permanent/seasonal RVs here and pride of ownership is lacking. Passport America discount is what brought us here. We would probably not stay here again. - jprisbe

When I decided to camp at IMS for the 2014 Indy 500, I could not find any information or reviews for their lots available with electric. All I could find was about the notorious "Coke" lot, which is first-come, first-served, no electricity and 4 nights of mayhem. So, I wanted to write this review in order that first time campers might have some insight into the camping options at IMS with electric. We stayed in lot 3P, which is a paved parking lot on 16th street directly across from the Speedway. When I arrived, we were greeted, then a staff member escorted us to a site and connected our electricity. Electricity was provided through onsite generators which ran 24 hours a day. Although this noise was constant, we get used to it and overall, ,the noise level was more than acceptable. We went to bed every night by 11:00 and had no trouble sleeping. For those who needed it, fresh water delivery was available and onsite sewage pump outs as well. This was not a luxury camping experience by any means, but our expectations were exceeded in terms of convenience and atmosphere. We walked to the track in a couple of minutes and enjoyed our neighbors without having to deal with out of control partying. Please understand, there was plenty of good times happening in this lot, but things stayed reasonable and ended each evening at a reasonable hour. We had a spot reserved and 24 hour staff onsite. It was a bit pricey, but worth every penny in terms of convenience. - Phil from Akron

Lot 4: Our home for the Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. One of the only times a year we " rough it." No electric or water hookups, so conserve what's in the tank and make sure you have empty black/grey tanks because there are no dumpstations either. It sounds bad, but we love it! Bring your generator if you want air conditioning though. It gets pretty hot out here. - Jason & Jennifer

Love this park! The sites are very spacious. The CG was completely full when we were there, but it very quiet. The hostess walks the CG and is very nice. It is electric only sites. The only reason I gave it a 9 was the showers have very limited hot water - so you better be quick! :) It is close to Ball State University so makes a great place to stay and visit the campus. Has a great nature center, trails, historical home and the mounds to visit. - bluedurango

Beautiful state park! Spacious lots, walking trails everywhere. A little hard to maneuver with our toad around the sharp corners to get to the campground area. Since it is off season, they come to you to collect the night's fees which are very reasonable. Tables and fire rings were provided. Only drawback was the sound of the trains in the night, which was every few hours. - Rusty Quilter

This is a fascinating area, and despite some disappointments, I'm glad we stayed here. The Mounds were very serene, and the pool was nice; especially, the part for young children. The shower and pool house were not very clean. There were bugs and a bit of debris in both. The park trails were not clearly marked (even the campground worker agreed with us on this!) and the map was little help. We walked for nearly an hour circling one of the mounds on both sides before finding it. It was, in fact, only a 15 minute walk from our campsite. - HomeIsWhereYouParkIt

Lovely well maintained park. Directions to this park are very confusing, as my 3 GPS's all gave different directions and the park's web site has the easiest route. It is so simple: exit 234 off 69, go west 2.8 miles on 32 to Anderson Municipal Airport on the south side of street. Turn north off 32, across the street from the entrance to the airport on N CR 300 E to Timberline Valletta RV Resort. Narrow winding road to park. Huge pond, gravel streets, beautifully maintained sites, grass, gravel, some concrete pads, some very spacious sites and some look very tight. Good wifi, no trees blocking satellite, no cable, no TV reception. Price is for pull thru, full hookups, strong 50 amps, wifi. Did not use park bath, showers or rec room? With Good Sam discount and they charge TAX. - Oooooooo

Timberline Valley RV Resort is a very well maintained RV park with friendly employees and great customer service. They even pick up your trash in the mornings if you put a bag out by the lanes. We'd have given them a "10" if it weren't for the bath and shower rooms. Small shower stalls with fair water pressure and cold water in the men's shower. One of the bathroom/shower buildings has showers that shut off about every 30 seconds. No benches in the shower stalls. The only benches are in front of the bathroom stalls - so if you are a senior and need to sit during or after a shower, you have no privacy options. And in hot temperatures, there were no fans or A/C in the shower building at the back of the park. The other one by the lake had one fan running in that one, but a park employee told us that people usually use the other one because its showers don't shut off every 30 seconds. For an otherwise great RV Park, this is a big deficiency. Unfortunately, we would not stay here again due exclusively to the shower issues. - vmak57

We stayed here for a long weekend getaway and really enjoyed it. Plenty of wonderful amenities and super friendly and helpful staff. I especially liked the fishing/swimming lake - saw tons of large bass, carp, and other fish - couldn't get any to bite though :( Also enjoyed the huge field that our RV faced - saw occasional deer in the evening. WiFi was pretty decent. We were parked in one of the pull-through sites which was fairly level, although kind of humped in the middle. It would be great if they could just grade those a bit to level them out then it would be perfect. The pull-through sites are arranged so that you park so "patio sides" face each other - there is plenty of space in between so that is not a big deal- I guess that depends too on your neighbors, which we had nice folks next to us. The RV on the other side is parked a little on the close side but not bothersome to us. This campground has all the makings to be our new (relatively short drive) weekend getaway location. We really liked this place! - iceman308

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Blacksburg VA
1019 AM EDT Wed Jul 20 2016
A weak cold front will remain to the south of our forecast area
today with high pressure in control through the remainder of the
week. This will result in warm and drier weather, but an isolated
shower or storm still cannot be ruled out.
As of 1015 AM EDT Wednesday...
Latest satellite images show that fog/stratus west of the Blue
Ridge has just about burned off, leaving mostly sunny conditions
across the region. Morning sounding is quite dry but some short
wave energy rotating through the northwest flow aloft will help
generate some Cu this afternoon. Expect CAPE values to be modest
at best but orographic effects along the Blue Ridge may be able
to squeeze out a few showers/rumble of thunder so POPs of 15 to 20
percent range look good. The NAM is a persistent outlier solution
in generating convection across the piedmont late today into early
this evening. Other meso models do not support this solution and
previous runs of the NAM too moist based on latest RNK sounding
and satellite imagery. Will restructure POPs a bit to reflect this
thinking and go with essentially a dry forecast with POPs of only
10 to 12 percent for the piedmont into this evening.
previous discussion as of 405 AM EDT Wednesday...
Difficult to find exact location of diffuse cold front any more,
but based on mean sea level pressure trough it may be from far
southeastern VA into northern NC and then southwest into far
northern GA. Surface dew point front may still lie just to the
north of our CWA. Still, it is clear much drier air has moved in
aloft behind last evenings upper short wave and with mixing during
the day should expect the dew point front to shift to the south of
the area as well. SBCAPE values may be moderate during much of the
morning, but with daytime mixing of drier air these should drop
during the afternoon. Therefore, would expect a drier day, but
with more sunshine still quite warm, or at least seasonable
daytime temperatures. Some very weak convergence in the NW NC
mountains and perhaps still close to the frontal boundary may be
just enough to squeeze out an isolated storm or two, but anything
trying to form will be battling entrainment of drier air aloft so
not especially confident in anything forming. Hardly any hi-res
models suggest this either. One small concern is that by evening
as dew points increase again with loss of mixing that surface-
based instability increases again. While there is hard to find any
kind of triggering mechanism, any lingering outflow boundary may
be enough to pop something but would tend to be weak and short-
lived. The NAM is suggesting scattered storms across central part
of forecast area by evening but think its low- level moisture is
overdone. However, one or two other hi-res models or ensemble
members suggest some signals similar but not as agressive as NAM.
Based on this idea, have added a slight chance PoP in basically
from ROA southeastward where these models suggest the best
potential is, and only from about 6pm through 10pm. There may end
up being nothing at all, but feel this pattern can produce
isolated overnight weak convection and since just a couple of
models hinted at it, felt it worthy of a very small PoP.
Otherwise clearing skies again overnight with light winds under
influence of surface high pressure. Patchy early morning fog a
decent possibility in favored locations and especially if there
are any pop-up evening showers which help to re-moisten the
As of 200 AM EDT Wednesday...
During this portion of the forecast a broad upper ridge will be
centered over the central portion of the country. The center of this
high will very gradually retrograde westward. The result will be a
trend towards better chances of disturbances across the Great Lakes
region heading southeast towards our region.
This looks to happen on Saturday when a cold front works its way
into the area and brings isolated to scattered showers to the region
Saturday into Saturday night.
Prior to this time, precipitation on Thursday and Friday will be
limited to primarily isolated orographical activity along the crest
of the Blue Ridge.
Temperatures will trend warmer through the period with readings on
Saturday averaging five to ten degrees above normal. Also on
Saturday, the heat index is expected to be in the 100 to 105 range
generally along and east of a Lawsonville, NC to Lynchburg, VA line.
As of 230 PM EDT Tuesday...
By Sunday the upper pattern will have transitioned to a quasi zonal
regime with the jet stream riding well to our north. This will keep us
in the heat and humidity through the first part of next week. The zonal
flow will result in little push to get fronts trough the region and as
a result, a washed out frontal boundary combined with a lee/thermal
trof will keep an elevated chance for thunderstorms across the region
on Sunday, followed by another weak front moving in from the northwest
and continuing our chances for thunderstorms as it washes out over the
area Tuesday. Air temperatures and heat index values will remain at
hazardous levels on Sunday especially across the piedmont, with only a
slight tempering of the heat through the first part of next week.
As of 740 AM EDT Wednesday...
Weak and slowly moving cool front near the VA/NC border this
morning and continues to drop southward. Patchy IFR fog mainly
impacting KLWB this morning but should lift by 14Z. Otherwise
clear skies under ridge and north of frontal boundary will give
way to some scattered cumulus clouds by midday, closer to blue
ridge and just east this deck may be broken at times and an
isolated early evening shower or storm is not out of the question
but confidence way too low to consider any mention at TAF sites,
but if it were to occur most likely from KROA to KLYH to KDAN
through 02Z or so. With upper ridge dominating today, expect
light winds of less than 7 kts from a generally northerly
direction. VFR the rule for the day and this evening unless an
isolated storm does happen to move over a TAF site.
Late tonight toward Thursday morning patchy IFR fog is likely
again at KLWB under the higher pressure and clearing skies, but
less confident in fog at other locations. Brief MVFR vsbys would
likely be the lowest at KBCB and KLYH.
Extended aviation discussion...
Strong high pressure aloft will move east across the region
Thursday into next weekend. Cannot totally rule out an isolated
storm each afternoon/evening through the period but appears
overall VFR outside of the typical late night valley fog in spots.
Hot and humid conditions east of the Blue Ridge this weekend
which may impact density altitude, and also slightly better
thunderstorm chances across the Appalachians.

Arfarfanarf: If someone is described as Arfarfanarf, chances are that they are in inebriated. The word "arf" on its own was slang for a half pint of beer.
Batty fang: Batty fang was a term popular among the poor in London meaning to beat someone up.
Collie shangles: Collie shangles was a Scottish word meaning arguments or fights that can be found in Queen Victoria's journal.
Daddles: Another word for hands.
Dimber Damber: Although it has positive connotations, there was no explicitly defined meaning for dimber damber. It was the opposite of "namby pamby."
Door knocker: A specific style of facial hair resembling a door knocker. Similar to a goatee with no hair on the chin.
Fly rink: A person with a shaved head is sporting a fly rink.
Gal sneaker: A man who devoted most or all of his time to seducing women would be a gal sneaker.
Jam: Attractive females. Variations include "bit of jam," "jam pot," and "jammiest bits of jam."
Leaky: A person referred to as leaky is a talkative drunk.
Mind the grease: While walking through a crowd, a Victorian might ask someone to excuse them or to make room, or they could say "mind the grease."
Nanty narking: A great time, usually at a tavern. Interchangeable with "beer and skittles."
Neck oil: Beer.
Podsnappery: Used to describe a person who is determined to ignore anything objectionable or inconvenient. Such a person acts superior to others.
Poked up: Embarassed.
Rain napper: An umbrella.
Sauce box: A mouth. Could also be called a "tatur trap."
Shoot into the brown: When someone failed, they would shoot into the brown. The term comes from missing a target completely, hitting the dirt behind it.
Skilamalink: When dealings are referred to as skilamalink they should be avoided. These are likely held in secret and with questionable moral purpose.
Suggestionize: To suggestionize someone, you prompt that person.
Thingembobs: A common name for trousers. If they were particularly tight, they might have been called "gas pipes."
Thuzzy-muzzy: The willful corruption of another's enthusiasm.
Umble come stumble: Said when a concept is understood
Whooperups: Those who sing poorly and loudly.]]>
Any questions relating to a candidate's race, religion, citizenship status, or nation of origin should be kept out. Asking an individual with a unique name about where he or she is from may seem innocuous, but it could lead to a complaint for discriminatory hiring practices. Similarly, asking where someone attends church may feel like simple small talk, but could be misconstrued as religious discrimination. The only topics that matter in a job interview are those related to the candidate's ability to do the job. Questions related to the individual's ability to work in the United States legally and whether or not the candidate possesses any language skills are permissible.
Asking how old a candidate is can also be problematic. If an interviewer is concerned that a candidate is close to retirement, he or she can ask what the candidate's long term career goals are instead.
Personal questions about family and children are ill advised. Asking about whether a candidate is single can be misread as sexual harassment. Asking if a candidate is interested in starting a family or has any children can be understood as concern that the candidate will not be committed to his or her career. Many businesses reject candidates they fear would take time off to start a family, which is not a permissible hiring practice.
Any questions about the candidate's health or physical disabilities should be avoided. Questions about the candidate's height, weight, use of sick days, and use of prescription drugs can be interpreted as a violation of the ADA. If they relate to the job, interviewers can ask candidates whether they take any illegal drugs (as opposed to any drugs), if they can lift a specific weight or reach a specific height, or how many work days he or she missed in the last year. As long as a candidate can perform the duties of a job with reasonable accommodation, the answer should not affect the hiring decision.]]>
Tesla Coil: The tesla coil is an electrical transformer used in radio transmitters until the 1920's. It is still used to test vacuum sealed rooms in scientific experiments. The visual effect of lightning shooting off the coils is so popular that many enthusiasts build them and display them for entertainment. The most notable is built and displayed annually at the Coachella music festival. The sounds they produce have also been recorded and used in popular music and films, renaming the invention the "zeusaphone."
Remote control: The technology that powers the remote control for your television, toy cars, car door locks, garage door openers, and other wireless communication devices was pioneered by Nikola Tesla who unveiled his "teleautomaton" in 1898 in New York City.
Alternating current: Nikola Tesla went against his former employer, Thomas Edison, when he created a competing system of delivering energy to people across the world. Tesla's system was more efficient, and, unlike Edison's direct current system, did not require a generator to be installed every two miles along the power line. The superior technology won out and it is still the system used for energy distribution throughout the country and most of the world.
Induction motor: In 1887, Tesla built a machine that had been talked about for more than fifty years. The induction motor used principles of electromagnetism to operate at peak efficiency. The induction motor is still used today in many household appliances like fans.
Hydro-electric power: Tesla is credited with designing the world's first hydro-electric power plant at Niagra Falls. His contributions to science and modern society have been recognized as both the Canadian side and the New York side of the falls feature prominent statues of the iconic inventor.
Neon signs: Although Tesla wasn't the first inventor to experiment with fluorescent light, he was the first to bend glass tubes into words, which he demonstrated at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893.
Radio: There is some controversy over whether or not the true inventor of the radio was Tesla or Guglielmo Marconi. The same year that Tesla passed away, Marconi's patents were deemed invalid and Tesla was given the credit for the invention.]]>

As with most legends, the actual origin is disputed, but the most widely accepted story is that the high five was invented on October 2, 1977 in a Major League Baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Houston Astros. The Dodgers were at the end of a successful season and were headed to the playoffs. The atmosphere in the packed stadium was electric as Dusty Baker hit his 30th homerun of the season, a significant accomplishment. The next batter was Glenn Burke, who had his hand in the air to celebrate. As he rounded third base and approached home plate, Baker reached up and hit his hand. It seemed like the thing to do.
The two men had no idea what they had started. The gesture became a symbol for the team and its fans through the playoffs as the team went on to win the pennant. T-shirts were printed with the gesture and the country was exposed to the phenomenon. It took off like wildfire. The high five became a symbol of comraderie and sportsmanship.
Hand slaps cut through socioeconomic divisions and sweep aside cultural barriers on their way to meet in the middle and produce a satisfying clap. As it turns out, high fives are an excellent method of boosting self-esteem, and the perfect punctuation for a witty remark. The beauty of a high five is in its simplicity. The action is easy for babies to learn early in their development. For the benefit of billions across the world, the high five has endured, spread, and thrived.]]>

Product Description
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3–Another variation on the familiar song, this one enumerates some of the unusual fauna of the rain forest. It not only spotlights some of the animals–marmosets, parrots, honey bears, leaf cutter ants, etc.–but also offers pertinent information on the habitat. Berkes describes the different layers of the rainforest and its importance to our global ecology, and suggests movement activities for children to act out the rhyme. The unusual and colorful illustrations are made with polymer clay and then photographed, giving them a three-dimensional look. Each spread has the text and a number on the left against a dark-green leaf background, and shows one animal family with the correct number of babies as well as several other sets of indigenous flora or fauna to count. A long double page shows all the levels of the rain forest in cross section, and children are challenged to count the animals previously encountered and now hanging on the vines and hiding underneath the trees, etc. This is a handsome book on an important subject, and it can serve as recreational reading as well as an introduction to a basic unit on the rain forest.–Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA

The book opens as the mottled canopy of a rainforest, seen from high above, fills the interior cover. On the first two-page spread, two marmosets are swinging gaily across a soft rising sun. "Over in the jungle / Where the trees greet the sun / Lived a mother marmoset / And her marmoset one. / 'Swing,' said the mother. / 'I swing,' said the one. / So they swung and they hung / Where the trees greet the sun." Colors pop out at the viewer as animals tumble over and above one another in a haze of action and rhyme. We see the wide iridescent blue of the morpho butterflies fluttering above their now discarded chrysalises. We see sweet honey bears sipping nectar and howler monkeys, their mouths all agape, as they hoot and holler up a storm. By the end, the book rounds everything out with a huge double page spread of all the animals featured, hidden amongst the different striations of the rainforest, from the forest floor to the tops of the trees or "emergents." Kids are encouraged to locate and count all the creatures they saw before. "When you find all the creatures then this rhyme is done."
It's the little things that sometimes impress me the most. Sure, I could wax rhapsodic over the sheer range of colors and ethereal images that appear in this book. But you know what I really love about Canyon's work? She cares about details. For example, as the book counts up from one to ten, a single leaf on the left-hand page carries the imprint of each number. And sitting on that leaf is a glistening raindrop. You might not notice, in fact it would be easy to miss it, but the number of raindrops increase with every number. They do so with a great deal of subtlety, though, so you wouldn't necessarily notice the first few reads. But really, that's what I love about the book. Multiple readings yield incredible rewards. I'm definitely not alone in cooing over the marbleized orange/red leaf cutter ants as they chew through an enormous leaf. And look! A second reading shows that somehow or other Canyon found a way to throw shadows from behind her subject matter. How do you outline the shadow of an ant from the underside of a leaf made out of clay? Or convey a sense of motion when a poison dark frog throws itself up and backwards towards a sharp pink bromeliad? Talent, possums. Just sheer talent.
A couple extra facts wouldn't have been out of place, of course. I'd have loved a definition of a "bromeliad", though the explanation that a mother poison dart frog will put her babies in one helped a little when coupled with Canyon's pictures. Still, some source notes would not have been out of place. Every once in a while my library's clientele will suddenly start a rainforest project, and any and every book I have on the topic is desired. Had Ms. Berkes put a small tot-friendly Bibliography of a scant two or three books in the back it would have made this book a fabulous storytime AND non-fiction source. Ah well. You go with what you've got.
None of this is to say that the back matter in this book isn't welcome. There's a printed selection of sheet music which allows the more talented amongst us to sing this song in our story programs. An amusing section entitled "How Many Babies Do They Really Have?" also clarifies points like the fact that in spite of the delightful suggestion that sloths can have nine babies at once, this is not actually the case. One wonders why it was put in the book in the first place, but at least the author had the good grace to nip concerns on the factual matter of the text in the bud. A nice portion on "The Rainforest Community" covers the four layers of tropical rainforest and even gives some nice websites for further information (kudos there).
It's a surprising little book, giving far more to the reader than they'd expect to receive. It's clear from the get-go that Ms. Berkes is certainly a former librarian, knowing as she does how important it is to put something this storytime-friendly into publication. Though I've a quibble here or there, this is a strong effort and worth owning. It also happens to make a very nice complement to Graeme Base's The Water Hole. Two thumbs up.
